I have both. The Small Clone has a certain magic to it but the Neo is far more sturdy and practical and has a vibe of its own. My Small Colne has broken down twice where my Neo Clone is as tough as old boots. The Neo is the one that's on my board.
The Neo has a bit of a tinnier tone to it. The Small Clone on the other hand has a much smoother and deeper tone to it. Always have to go with the Small Clone. Although, there isn't much difference between the two. Both very cool indeed! Lovely, dreamy chorus sound!
Thank you for this comparison. Soundwise i definitly prefer the small Clone the size of the neo Clone is more practical. But it is the Sound that counts in the end.
51 likes and 0 dislikes, thats when you know your doing good. Also I have been watching your kurt cobain videos and tone videos and things based on that and its very helpful, Thank you!
yeah the original has a fuller sound, if in the video you jump between 2:27 and 3:08 the diference is clear, same sound effect but one sounds fat and the other it is on a diet-the reason for the size i guess..lol. good video i did a mod by switching the depth switch with a 50k pot so you can increase or decrease gradually the depth, amazing mod( you can find it here on YT) , doing the 9v plug switch mod, will be my next project. Now im working on the EVH MXR Flanger pedal by adding a second switch so i can use EVH preset sound and use a second effect with this same pedal, this pedal does wonders, from chorus , rotary, to tremolo..i think Eddie used it as a rotary cabin speaker in the solo "Not Enough" is for sure the MXR flanger pedal with the correct settings
Just got my small clone today. I'm in Bulgaria so it's rare to see the good stuff, but finally i found one in this pawn shop. Compared to my old tc electronic third dimension chorus it's like night n day, lovin it.
The Small Clone can go a bit deeper. Plus it's just friggin' cool looking. Other than that, they sound the same. Well worth it to spend a few extra buck$ to get the real thing , in my opinion.
Before I even watch this video ,I had to comment on the ad at the beginning for Guitar Guitar . The guy is selling his Music Man Van Halen or Peavey Wolfgang or similar . Maybe it's coincidence but I heard that since Eddie passed away , people started asking double for used EVH related gear . I'm all for people making money , but to take advantage of someone's death just seems wrong to me . I'm not criticising you btw Rob , I know you don't choose the ads ! Just rubs me up the wrong way. Now that's off my chest , back to the video 😉
@@theguitarmanifesto Yeah .I did my best with my kids (not my money grubbing ex wife) as I'm sure you and Emma are with your children. After that it's peer pressure and the media trying to do the opposite unfortunately.
In my opinion i think i’ll go for the small clone, but the down part is that it doesn’t have side inputs ...just top inputs but i’ll sort that out once i get it but yeah I’ll defenetly go for small clone
they're very similar but the nano clone sounded a little bit brighter and less smooth. It's got a really subtle spikiness in the top end that the small clone doesn't have
I have a orange micro dark with a vintage 30 1x12 cab, the amp has nice cleans but when I enable a DS2 it sounds a bit muddy and not as clear etc. Wondering do you think its the vintage 30 speaker that's causing my problems? or any recommendations for at home combo amps with FX loop that could get a nirvana tone?
You alright Rob? Great video btw. I recently got the THUNDERSTORM Flanger pedal it has Rate, Manual, Feedback and Depth controls I was just wondering what settings you'd recommend to get a Van Halen "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" kinda sound? Thanks mate
Hey dude yeah I'm all good. I have played one of them pedals so I couldn't tell ya. I'd start by setting all the dials to 12 o'clock and have a good listen to the song
Dang, I think there is an ever so subtle difference between the 2, the second pedal I ever bought and use is the Neo Clone, and it does work for what I want, especially Nirvana, i would probably get the small stone just because Kurt used one haha but I have to not go spending on more pedals at the moment 😂
